Great job by the umpire! Serena belongs to the past....what a sad end behaving so unpolitely....

Belongs in the past? As long as she’s still winning matches, what’s the problem? That being said, she did behave inappropriately. While I understand her frustration, she didn’t respond like a champion. Osaka brought it to her and she buckled under the pressure. Congrats Osaka!

I wish the NY crowd were penalized for their behaviour too..they were an absolute disgrace at the end! They made Naomi Osaka feel like she had done something wrong in winning her first Grand Slam title with their carry on.

It takes a great character to accept defeat gracefully. Serena clearly lacks such character.

Seemed to me like she was bullying the umpire. Publicly shaming him in an arena she knew was rabidly behind her, before threatening his livelihood

Most people who follow tennis in daily or weekly basis and most respected tennis journalists said the umpire merely doing his job though

Being a sports person Serena's behaviour was so harsh. I think she got mad after her defeat.

She got a warning first for her coach’s behavior (he admitted to it on camera after the match). She got a point dinged when she broke the rules by breaking her racket on the ground outside of play. She then threatened the ref’s ability to work in the future among other remarks.

Nothing that a male player hasn’t done without the same penalty. The point of the article is the double standard. Not what happened.
-
Djokovic has been given violations by this exact same umpire. Anecdote and wishful thinking doesn't = truth. There is no double standard in this case even though people want ever so badly to blame an umpire for Serena playing badly and melting down.

Right. And where was the uproar for him?

Lol there was no uproar because he didn't blame sexism. Serena blamed sexism or racism or whatever for the reaction to her own poor sportsmanship, overshadowing the true champion. Serena Williams (who is certainly a member of the 1%) claiming unfair treatment is rich.
-
The uproar started as soon as she did it hun. You mentioning her pay packet is just a red herring. She can be as rich as she likes and still be treated differently. You’re kinda keep proving the point, bizarre that you’ve missed it xx
-
The uproar started because she was an entitled, abusive brat on the court. She has a history of this.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2009/sep/13/serena-williams-tirade-us-open …

So do a tonne of men love. It’s competition. I understand that when you see her doing it, to you she seems like an enititled brat having ‘a meltdown’. But when a man does it it’s viewed as only an ‘outburst’. Thats the double standard that we find frustrating. That’s all xx

It doesn’t matter what everybody said, all is on Serena’s behavior, the rules exist for a reason.

Serena should know better. She's not a newcomer to the game. She behaved like a spoiled brat, shaming the game. Osaka is the victim here, and Ramos, of Americans at their ugliest.
